Design Considerations For Extended Aeration-Denitrification Facilities, Frank Paul Huttner Jan 1974

Design Considerations For Extended Aeration-Denitrification Facilities, Frank Paul Huttner

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Design considerations and operating procedures were investigated for nitrogen removal in an extended aeration-denitrification facility. Both past and present removal efficiencies were evaluated for the facility, along with capital and operating cost data. The findings of this research indicate that at very long detention times, significant nitrification and denitrification occurred in the plant without the use of chemicals. Overall nitrogen, BOD5, and suspended solids removals were extremely high. The significance of this research is that future plants may achieve high rates of nitrogen removal through innovative design and operating procedures without the use of costly chemicals. However, capital costs needed …

Wastewater Treatment Plant Control, David Milton Knowles Jan 1972

Wastewater Treatment Plant Control, David Milton Knowles

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This report is the result of investigation of the feasibility of increasing the use of autamatic controls at the Florida Technological University Wastewater Treatment Plant. This investigation was to include a literature search and visits to wastewater treatment plants. During the writers course of study, he was privileged to make a series of tests of a residual chlorine analyzer which was made in the school shop. Since this work was closely related to automatic controls the data are included in this report.
